Tracing Formula Frustrations — due to complex cell referencing
Suffering some apparent limitations of Excel. Excel cell referencing (i.e. $A$6) can become a major pain when I have to make changes to a complex spreadsheet. Multiple formulas to update etc. ...
What “pain” are you referring to? Please clarify.
Hi Twifoo,
Finding all instances of where cell referencing has been used in different formulas across different tabs to make updates. Specifically for example in a pricing calculator for a multi-product inventory management.
- If used within a single Sheet, absolute cell references are fine; otherwise, defined names are preferable.
